Probably the sweetest piece of dream pop you’re likely to hear today, crafted by a gifted Toronto talent. This is the kind of sound that just takes you to another space.
“’Rollercoaster’ is about temporary emotions taking a toll on a relationship. Every relationship has its ups and downs and I tried to portray that in song.”
A Southwest Michigan group who craft a charming blend of surf indie and pop-rock. The track simply exudes joy and happiness, and it your feel-good anthem for the day.
A beautifully subtle and emotive indie pop sound from this 21-year old New Yorker. You can hear and experience the vulnerabilities of a young person growing up through her music, and I think that’s a marvellous gift to have.
“I wrote the song when I first moved back home to NYC after being away for a while to work on myself. For the first time, I really valued my life, and suddenly I was scared of everything around me. There was a fear that formed because I actually cared about myself and my safety; “home” is about coming to terms with that.”
At just 21-years old, this Dubai-based singer songwriter has already opened up for international artists such as Tove Lo, Stereophonics and Mike Posner. The sound itself is mellow and understated, but so easy to connect with.
It’s impossible to ignore this single from British indie newcomers Pacific. The band carries a style of rock that’s bold, epic, and unashamedly present; a refreshingly confident sound.
Impressively, they ended last year selling out three shows, and their previous singles have collectively clocked up more 200,000 streams on Spotify to date.
You may recognise the voice once you press play on this track; that’s because Jack Hawitt was responsible for performing that gorgeous cover of Ariana Grande’s ‘Into You’ which went viral last year.
But the real excitement for this London-based artist, songwriter and producer has only just begun. He started 2020 with a cut on Megan Thee Stallion’s album, followed by the release of his solo single ‘Almost Lost You’ as well as a feature on DJ Licious’ ‘We Don’t Know’. It really feels like Jack Hawitt is a British talent who is destined to some pretty amazing things. On his new release, Jack explains,
“Imagine you’ve just got home after spending time with someone who really lights you up, ‘Higher Love’ is that feeling when you sit there and think about them. It’s next-level love. For me personally it’s a romantic love but I think you can feel this deep connection with a lot of people. Friends, family, lovers. It’s basically a celebration of love.”
An exciting British talent with a skill for effortlessly delivering a polished blend of hip hop and RnB. The message behind ‘Supreme Excellence’ is quite a simple one:
“To attack without fighting.“
This Nashville based, Cincinnati born-and-raised singer creates chilled pop with subtle tones that make her songs both anthemic while still keeping a sense of melancholy.
Taken from Tieger’s forthcoming six-song debut EP, out soon.
It feels like a lifetime since I have experienced dancehall that’s given me so much thrill… It’s just a very fresh and interesting take on the genre and makes me pretty excited to see what’s next from this London-based talent.
Track of the week. This London-based talent is above and beyond exciting for me. A fusion of dark pop and RnB, blended so finely and sung with such a distinctive vocal.
I genuinely struggled to try and describe this sound. All I can say is that it’s utterly bonkers (yet brilliant) pop, produced with hints of funk and disco.
It’s performed in Norwegian, but I can promise you that you won’t quite hear anything like this for some time.
If you’re looking for someone who’s perfected a new approach to RnB, while still maintaining a sense of subtle playfulness that comes from old-school soul, then you’ve found your guy.
I’ve always felt that the best rock is the kind which goes above and beyond; the type that throws subtlety out of the window and celebrates itself for the awesome chaos that it is.
This British trio create a blend of hard rock and pop, which is so extra and manic that it’s near impossible not to enjoy.
“We were inspired to write this song whilst comparing the state of the world right now, including the devastating Australian bush fires, and how everything seems to be a circus. I think this song has everything you would ever want and I’m so proud of how powerful it’s come out, including the crazy operatic ending!”
Josh, THE HARA
A beautifully composed song dedicated to the icons who have in some shape managed to influence our lives, but who also left the world too soon.
“‘Heartbreaker’ came together because I wanted to write a song honouring Tom Petty. There is no one cooler and more honest than him. His musical talents and his not going to take crap from anyone attitude has inspired myself and so many other musicians/ songwriters.”
Here’s a sound that is so full of confidence and raw emotion that it defines Grace Weber as part of an exciting new generation of soul talent.
